Yes, most people basically want to say: "I don't want to have to concern myself with how much space and time it takes to do my work. I just want it to work. Oh, and I need it ASAP.

Oh, and it needs to be free so that it doesn't impact my budget. That's so I can be under budget and get a raise or bonus." <cynic type="old"/>
